I love these little vignettes into Penny and her father's relationship!

[mothermedusa20]

Thanks. I appreciate the sentiment even though you were there every step of the way. It was fun to write- I guess i'd make a better dad than a mom.:)

He should have taken the lamb to the vet and shot Kurt. That's the lesson I walked away with...

Very sweet. The father/daughter relationship feels very real.

such a nice story, but sad it took Penny so long to dump Kurt. Clear to see why Penny had a uneasy relationship with her father.

He was the first man to break her heart.

Ow, that one *hurt*. Penny's relationship with her father is fascinating, and I loved how you wrote it here with these scenes. They really play on each other and build on each other, and if you're ever inspired I'd love to see more. There's never enough Penny & her dad fics, and you write them v. well!

(lol, LJ is screwing up like mad for me, and it showed that my first comment hadn't gotten through, sorry about that!)

Thanks

Thank you for the great review. It means a lot coming from you.

I enjoyed writing this; the driving scene where Wyatt tells her the gas pedal is an eggshell is a direct quote from my father so I guess there is something to "writing what you know."

Thanks again
